    Eh, none of them to that degree. There’s really nothing that’s ever been on TV that I can’t be patient with, and I can’t binge watch much of anything.

    However, Metalocalype and The Venture Bros, I can watch more of at once than anything else, even animated media that I technically like more. Which seems weird on the surface, but the reason is that I don’t have to watch every second of those two to enjoy every second of the episodes. Particularly on rewatches, though it was the case when they were new anyway.

    If you want to talk about the other shows that are almost bingeable for me, but I need to be able to sustain watching, that’s Samurai Jack and Primal. Both of them take animated storytelling and turn it into a form of art that transcends a single genre. Brilliant scripts, and the art styles were and are compelling in a way nothing I had seen before matched.

    Part of the barrier is just attention span. Since I had to give up stimulants of any kind, including caffeine and nicotine, I’m reminded of why school could be so damn hard when I was a kid. Not the most severe expression of attention issues, but enough that after a few episodes, I need a break from being locked in fully.

    The other part is just being old and not wanting to sit in one place and get stiff and sore.

    It’s been a while now but I used to watch gravity falls so often I could tell you almost all the jokes and gaga in every episode.

    So first off, hells yes to Harvey Birdman! That was my husband and I’s you want to hang out and watch something show when we were first dating. Sealab 2021, Space Ghost, Adventure Time, Aeon Flux, and Futurama all have a special place too.
